Simple Newbie Question

Hi there,

I'm trying to display a random image that is selected from an array. What's causing the problem is the route to the image that I'm trying to print to the page. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong with escaping characters ... or something!!

To use it in your current function (the one where you get the value "castlepic[lucky]" from), add this in instead of your document.write:

Code:

setImage(castlepic[lucky]);

Using my method above will be more accessible too, since by default there's an image on screen even if JS is disabled. If javascript is enabled, the image will change to the random one, hopefully when the page loads.
